Is the FB-7895 the right springbar for a Sub?

As nearly as I can figure by web and mike, the springbar below works fine for the pre-SEL 9315/93150 bracelet. Can anyone confirm or correct that? Thanks!

That springbar is for a lug-holes case model..

If you put it in a non-lug-hole case, there is nothing for the tool to "grab" to compress it.. Also, the rigid tube is almost lug-to-lug...

It is good in a lug hole as it is very strong...and the preferred if you run a NATO strap..

What kind of Sub do you have?

If your sub has lug holes, the Springbar you mentioned should be fine. If you Sub does not have pierced lugs, then Tools is correct and the spring bar shown will not work. The non-pierced lugs require a different type of double-shouldered Springbar.

16610 = Non-SEL, Pierced Lug = Rolex Part Number 23-12200

16610T = Non-pierced = SEL = Rolex Part Number: 23-44200

Thanks, should have made clear this is for a drilled-lug case. Looks like those are the right ones!
